Anyone a doctor?

nutritionist? just smart and knows?

I'm going to mention this to a doc, but maybe someone knows. it's probably not rocket science to anyone with just enough of the right background.

I believe I occasionally get hypoglycemic.
that is, I feel weird, shaky, weak, and anxious and when I get this feeling I CRAVE FOOD. This has happened sometimes right after a meal. Tonight it happened when I hadn't eaten food in hours. I was trying to figure out how to run software on my pc the way I wanted when I became very anxious as well as all of those other things and ran for the cookies.

I've always had anxiety anyway. I've always occasionally gotten hypoglycemic.

Could blood sugar levels be off just enough to screw with my mood and other things consistently while not keeping me hypoglycemic all the time?

And most importantly what could be causing my blood sugar to be dropping?

Maybe there's no connection here. I may not have it enough for there to be. The hypoglycemia instances are rare. But do pop up and do not quit forever.

Do you ever feel hypoglycemic every now and then?


My mother is always checking my blood sugar (her and my brother were diagnosed diabetic same day) and it's always normal. I've only ever felt it drop. It's never, as far as I know, shooting up higher than it should.


If I'm not getting enough sugar(which should be impossible) something's wrong. I eat candy and drink sugar like an addict.

I am at risk of being a diabetic. So I try not to gorge myself on sugar. But I drink soda and sugar in my coffee no doubt.

My family thinks I'm on a highway to diabetes hell and I think I may be not getting enough sugar, that is, it's not breaking down properly to turn into fuel.

Either way if something is going on with my blood sugar levels, it's small right now.

But may be causing this occasional hypoglycemia?
As well as the constant fatigue, anxiety, sluggishness, grumpiness.....

Confusing. Biology sucks.

Yeah, everything you described sounds right on point to what you've been experiencing.
However, consider this; a nutritionalist will tell you that your diet plays a big role in your moods, even for a "healthy" person.
This is why it's important to read food labels and get to know the substances involved (especially) with processed foods.
Many "preservatives" are just chemicals with a chain that defeats the blood/brain barrier - generally speaking, the effects both long and short term aren't good. These chemicals affect the psyche of the brain = haywire.
Further, getting to where you're at, hypoglycemia is a precursor to diabetes. Everybody seems to be focused on sugar when it comes to hypoglaucemia & diabetes - sugar out of the bag literal or candy and sweets or, "don't eat too many cupcakes but have all the French bread you like"...ummm...no.
It's about ANY food that converts to sugar, once it enters the body. Anything with glycerine (candy, cakes and processed sugar) to all carbohydrates.
And sadly....all forms of booze, fruit and/or fruit juice(s).
Ever notice after eating a bunch sweets how you crave high proteins? Like, solid meat, chicken, tuna or a slab of beef?
You should ask yourself why there is such an epidemic of pancreatic cancer in our society - what is the organ that produces insulin? And people beat the he!l out of it with their diet until it fails and then they become insulin dependant.
But, people seldom note the other side - protein. As I said about the meat cravings. It's expected that you will eat more meat than you do sugar-related foods. That's why you have a liver - it process various proteins like your pancreas processes sugar. Your liver and pancreas are attached to each other....
There will always be high protein spikes involved in the aftermath of a heart attack. It can't always be blamed on high cholesterol although meat tastes better with the greasings that go with it - yum!
But, don't be fooled. Going vegan and eating a bunch of soy is propaganda.
Yet, it is true, that a diet that leans toward a fresh vegetable diet is the most beneficial, but you do need a moderate of meat to maintain a healthy protein level.
Remember. Your mood is in your diet. Hope This helps.
Good luck.

"Your mood is your diet"--that is indeed a profound insight!

Thank you Sherlock, even though one word makes all the difference in meaning.

Moods are affected by low blood sugar.

It's cos u r consuming so many carbs. Sounds like the carbs u r having a short chain not long chain so the energy doesn't last very long.

Then u get hypo symptoms.

There is so much connected in the body.

I've been very unwell for 5 yrs now and been trying rk learn how to get myself better. I found hope from Dr Myhill's book on M.E

However her other books are amazing too and I'd recommend.

She also has one on reversing diabetes. And I'd recommend looking at the book sustainable medicine by her.

I have learn so much from her. I know how to get myself well now for the most part.

I'd look into PK diet but if u so then to be careful cos u need to know some other info before doing it.

Dr Myhill is a genius. She has changed my world and cos of her I finally understand why I am sick and why I get symptoms.

I love biology and did it at A level and she makes a lot of sense.

This is just random. But protein doesn't contain carbs, but when u go over a certain amount of protein it can then convert to carbs.

Carbs feed microbes in the stomach and increase aerobic microbes which then cause lots of other problems.

If u are interested Dr Myhill has a lot of information free on her website I'd u put her into Google.
She also done YouTube videos and other stuff.

Im going brain foggy now..

She tried to put as much info out there for people so they can learn and take care of their own health.

There's a fb group called supporters of Dr Myhill's protocol for M.E/CFS
And u can put questions there even if u don't have M.E.

Lots of people have advice to share there with health.

If u don't give ur body the right ingredients then ur body cannot make the right neurotransmitters that make u feel good (and other stuff).

If ur diet is poor then mood will be poor.

Ps. The brain loves fat, not carbs. That's why omega fatty acids r so good the brain. (If u wanna know more just ask. I'll share if u can at the time)
